A trip by jeep from monastery to monastery in the mountains of Tibet, at an altitude of 5,000-8,000 meters. The guesthouses may be primitive, but the majestic landscape is more than worth any lack of creature comforts.

The first steps towards the Tibetan settlements really give us the feeling of coming back home, how not to believe in incarnation? It's not my first visit to Rabgye-ling, the Tibetan settlement where Gyudmed monastery is situated, but I distinctly remember this feeling of calmness and peace and also joy filling my entire essence during the first visit...

This is a wonderful account on a trip around the Tibet Plateau amidst “interesting” companions in search for a place to go p.. and other hilarious moments and troubles on the road. Absolutely gorgeous Potala Palace, the old monasteries, however, outnumbered by the nightclubs and the fiercely religious people is a thing I can’t be sarcastic about.:|

This piece of writing really impressed me: I realized how superficial my perspective on Tibet was by now. I never knew about this country’s problems and now I can’t believe a small place like that can have such a tough past and present. It’s a very debatable article! Be ready for an interesting discussion to follow!
